put-retention-policy¶

Description¶

Sets the retention of the specified log group. A retention policy allows you to configure the number of days for which to retain log events in the specified log group.

Synopsis¶

  put-retention-policy
--log-group-name <value>
--retention-in-days <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--log-group-name (string)

The name of the log group.

--retention-in-days (integer)

The number of days to retain the log events in the specified log group. Possible values are: 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 365, 400, 545, 731, 1827, and 3653.

To set a log group to never have log events expire, use DeleteRetentionPolicy .

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

The following command adds a 5 day retention policy to a log group named my-logs:

aws logs put-retention-policy --log-group-name my-logs --retention-in-days 5
